The No Legendary Blues: A World of Warcraft Tale




We all come to a point in our gaming lifespan where it seems that everyone is better than you, that the random number generator is favoring those around you while leaving you to your own devices.  Well that has hit me.  In World of Warcraft: Legion legendary armor is distributed by a random number generator which as the community managers present you have a bad luck protection.  The longer you go without a legendary the chances of getting a legendary increase.  I have three characters at max level not including the mage that I just boosted and still have no legendary armor among any of my max level characters.  I wanted to see how long it takes for a drop to happen, this means that I will only play my new boosted character and keeping track of how long it takes for that magic number generator to finally fall in my favor, by the way I should never gamble as me and random number generators do not mix very well.



Baseline:

Every Hour I play at max level I will count as one try.

Every Raid boss kill will count as one try.

Every Dungeon boss kill will count as an attempt.

And, Every emissary cache opened will count as one attempt.

I will count all of these up after every playing session and keep track of how long it actually takes for my mage to gain access to a legendary piece of armor.  You can find this series every Monday right here on the blog as I keep you all posted on how long/ how many attempts it actually takes to make the random number generator finally go into my favor.



Starting stats:

Hours played at max level: 16 hours
Raid bosses killed: 15
Dungeon bosses killed: 4
Emissary caches opened: 5

Total attempts:  40
Legendary #1: 0

For those that have played the entire expansion and still haven't gained a legendary piece of armor know that you are not alone.  Some of us also have bad luck too.
